It’s not “just” sports, it’s your health

This year, don’t just get a “Sport Physical”

Schedule an annual wellness exam. They may seem like the same thing, but they really are not. At an annual wellness exam, your healthcare provider will talk to you about more than just sports. They will discuss your entire body and include age appropriate preventive screenings that can protect you from serious issues down the road. It’s a safe and private time to discuss things you can’t talk about with your friends and family. It’s also covered by insurance through the age of 18 in and in most cases through the age of 21. After all it’s more than sports, it’s your health and well being for life. Call now to schedule an appointment with one of our providers and remember to bring your Iowa Athletic Pre-Participation Physical Examination form to the appointment.
